Canning, beekeeping among the workshops at Eat Local fair Saturday

Say you want to incorporate more local foods in your diet but could use some tips on how to do it. The annual Eat Local Resource Fair comes to the rescue Saturday at the Urban Ecology Center, 1500 Park Place in Riverside Park.

The fair will have workshops on canning at 11:45 a.m. and urban beekeeping at 2 p.m.

Vendors such as Bolzano Artisan Meats, Just Coffee Cooperative, Bliffert Lumber (with canning supplies) and Sugar River Dairy will be on hand to sell wares and answer questions. The fair runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The event is a prelude to the Eat Local Challenge, which takes place the first two weeks in September.
